<t> Once you find the manuals, I would highly suggest you run through the tutorial, then play one of the smaller (not the full-map) scenarios before jumping into the entire war.<br/>
<br/>
The manual is pretty good considering the scope of the game, but the game experience only gets better once ...

Remember that for max repair capability, you should have a Repair Yard (like PH or SF) and 4 ARs in it.

Then your damaged ships have to be either docked in a TF or disbanded in port.

Your TF always needs 10% more than you can conveniently lay hands on [:D]

Nope.. ships only use fuel. Ground and air units consider supply as fuel.

It is automagic.. sometimes it just takes a while to get moving (and never really that fast - given the 1 day turns).

If you have a lot of ships damaged it takes more time as well (repair crews spread thinner).

Navigational error? [:)]

<r> You are absolutely right about the subs Ron,<br/>
<br/>
Please take my comment in context however.<br/>
<br/>
The vast majority of the US public had little to no idea how effective the sub force was until after the war was over. The Silent Service was silent on all fronts.<br/>
<br/>
I've ...

Kpax,

You don't NEED a map, as it is always done in-game.

This map is a poster-sized bonus for us yahoos who like to sit and stare at the wall and project strategy when we need to unplug from our systems..

I think it's worth the price meself..

Either or would have sufficed.

You answered it though - steroids [:)]

thankies,

<t> No Navy can leave old ships out of harm's way for one reason: public opinion.<br/>
<br/>
No naval commander can ever come even CLOSE to being accused of cowardice because it could spell disaster for the whole service.<br/>
<br/>
If the Navy had just sailed around while Army and Marine troops ...

The AI peeking..

Are we talking on the order of our SIGINT? or are we talking SIGINT on steroids?

Projector??

Oh.. my. Cool!

Being able to have real war-room size maps up there (and the ability to read the fonts! [:)])

Over the top D, but very cool nonetheless...

<t> I know they are on the wish list for midgets and kaiten. I'm <br/>
not sure how the game would model he midgies, but I would think Kaiten could be a variation of the ohka code?<br/>
<br/>
Not to change the subject though [;)]<br/>
<br/>
Frag is right about how Japan's military was perceived ...

<t> Are we sure it's really a bug?<br/>
<br/>
I know if I was an admiral about to lose a base and I looked over at the depot and saw a bunch of nice, clean, shiny mines, I'd think evil thoughts and sow the crud out of them...<br/>
<br/>
Then again, I'm really a fan of scorched earth.. leave ...

Sometimes I think Irr's comment is taken more to heart by the system [:D]

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Mr.Frag<br/>
There is a third special type for Fast Transport TF's but it is really wrapped around the concept that a Fast Transport TF will never *load* more then it can *unload* in one round. This is *why* you must set the destination before giving the load ...

There have been times I would have killed to get the 3/73 Armor in PacWar [:)]

<t> It's just a logical progression. The smaller the area you are searching = the more planes doing the search = more found ships.<br/>
<br/>
Searching out to only 4 hexes instead of 10 could be considered a huge difference. You are just about guaranteed to spot the TF. Just as they drop anchor ...

I thought you said something about requiring 20k supplies for torp reloads Frag?

Or was the 20k number in relation to something else?

I'm just shoving supplies everywhere to be safe

[:)]

A tube I would hope. Cafepress managed to lose mine in transit somewhere, so I'm waiting for the air shipping of the new one..
